Australia’s leading women’s network can now be found on TV screens near you.
We’re beaming directly into your lounge room with our own segment on Channel 9’s 3pm news bulletin, Nine News Now.
We’ll be there every Monday to Friday at 3.10pm to chat with you about all the articles that are buzzing on 9Honey - and here's what we're talking about today:

A couple, who met online a year ago, ended up proposing to each other at the same time.
Tori Monaco and Berkley Cade instantly clicked after meeting for the first time and quickly began dating shortly after.
It was both girls’ first same-sex relationship and Monaco revealed to BuzzFeed News that she was ‘blown away’ at their immediate connection.

The death of Denmark’s Prince Henrik this week has prompted discussion around when Crown Princess Mary will become the country’s queen.
Prince Henrik, 83, died in his sleep on February 13 at Fredensborg Palace, having been hospitalised with a lung infection and benign lung tumour last month.

Here we discuss all the possibilities of Princess Mary becoming queen of Denmark.

On Talking Married last night, the Married At First Sight producers answered a very important question: why on earth did MAFS cast Dean?
On last night's episode of the show, things got real as he and Davina planned explicitly to deceive and then leave (what an un-delightful rhyme) their spouses.

Most of Australia, and all of Twitter (who've had Dean on notice since the audition where he told us he was 'in charge') dutifully decided to forever doubt this man's romantic judgement.
And many wondered why such a feelings-villain had been brought onto a show ostensibly based on finding and honouring love in the first place.

But MAFS executive producer Tara McWilliams told her there was method to the madness.
"When Dean walked into the audition and said things like that ... as a producer, I'm going, 'This is fascinating; he comes with alternative views.'
"They're controversial views. And if everyone had the same kind of view on relationships, it'd be a really boring experiment and a really boring show."
